Corsair Expansion?

[Not Espi]

when corsairs expand and take over planet cambridge or stuttgart - what then? when they finally have food to feast on? they would defend against entire fleets of military ships inside enemy territory. how long do you think it would last? such an offensive expansion can not be accomplished with the constant raiding the corsairs are experiencing at the moment. it would mean doubling the amount of war fronts they have now. and unless they would move their entire infrastructure and population to one of those planets within a VERY short time.

orbital bombardment is not an option here, since that would destroy the very reason why they look at those planets.

an optimal scenario would be to build up some decent force and wait until bretonia is COMPLETELY sieged by both GRN and kusari at the same time, so the BAF would be spread thin. it's not a problem to take over a planet for 2 hours. it's a problem to keep it under your control.

a good commander wins the campaign first, and then goes to battle. any other tactic results in failure.
